Yeah i know i was talking to one of the guys from RS about
why the 600 still has that main and and hasnt moved onto
the carbon weaved sail like the 300 or the kevlar weave of
the 700. He said the 300 association decided they wanted a
new main and so RS sorted it for them. RS didnt actually
play any part in the idea of the modernised main so if the
600 is going to get the same style, we will have to as an
association organise it. But at the moment the current sail
works perfectly and i dont see any reason to change apart
from looks.

Your main would look good if you got an update for it similar to what our new 300 and the 700 one looks like.

A couple of pictures from the dinghy show with the boat fully pimped. I dont think there is any more pimping i can do

It looked lovely and shiny on the stand. I was well chuffed.

I knocked this up the other night. Picked up the printed vinyl today so this weekends job will be applying a rather large one to the main and some slightly more petite versions to the crews area of the cockpit. She then can't say I never warned her!

(Sorry 4223. I haven't got a picture of our boat yet!)

that sail doesnt look too bad. it actually makes the laser
look a bit more modern. and yes if the thigh-breaking side
decks were remodelled and sorted out with something a bit
more comfortable - some cushions maybe? - then yes i would
be more interested in them too. to me, lasers just seem
like a bigger topper with a point at the end. yes when your
young toppers are great fun and one of the best boats to
sail, but looking back they are sooooo much effort for not
much reward.

I was considering a laminate main....need some money to get some material
first. I think I'll do it at some point for sh*ts and giggles and make it a
square top.

Is there anything I can actually do to pimp a laser?
I'm struggling to think of anything........I may actually have to source some camo material for the toestrap. 
What's the best paint to use on carbon?  Could always paint the tiller and tiller extension.
